HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN: ..and "our" hearts go ONLY for American soldiers, such corrupt hearts "we" have

HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

..and "our" hearts go ONLY for American soldiers, such corrupt hearts "we" have

Al-Sajr, Iraq — In an incident likely to deepen resentment of the U.S. occupation in an already volatile region, American forces backed by helicopters firing rockets attacked a village west of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing three and wounding three others. U.S. forces acknowledged that a raid occurred but said they could confirm only one dead.

The troops were from the 82nd Airborne Division - the same command that mistakenly killed eight Iraqi policemen and a Jordanian guard on Sept. 12 in the nearby city of Fallujah. In April, soldiers from the 82nd Airborne shot dead 18 and injured 78 on two successive days, also in Fallujah. In both cases, the U.S. military said the soldiers were fired on first. A senior U.S. army officer is leading an investigation into the Sept. 12 shooting.
